Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln In 1854 began the great slavery agitation by the re peal Of the slavery prohibition Of 1820, called the Mis souri Compromise. Aroused to new activity by what he regarded as a gross breach Of political faith, Lincoln entered upon public discussions with an earnestness and force that by common consent gave him leadership Of the Opposition in Illinois, which that year elected a majority Of the legislature. This Would have secured his election to the United States Senate, in the winte1 Of 1854, to succeed Shields, a Democrat; but four Op position members, of Democratic antecedents, 1efused to vote for Lincoln, who was yet called awhig, and by their persistence compelled the election Of Trumbull. The Republican party Of Illinois was for mally organized in 1856; the campaign 1esulted substantially m a drawn battle, the Democrats gaining a majority in the State for president, while the Republicans elected the gover nor and State Officers. In 1858 the senatorial term Of Douglas, author of the repeal Of the Missouri Compro mise, was expiring, and he sought 1e election. Lincoln, who had four years before successfully met him in public debate, was'now by unanimous resolution Of the Republican State Convention designated as his rival and Opponent. Yielding to the wish of his party friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln: From His Birth to His Inauguration as President At the time of Mr. Lincoln's death, I determined to write his history, as I had in my possession much valuable material for such a purpose. I did not then imagine that any person could have better or more extensive materials than I possessed. I soon learned, however, that Mr. William H. Herndon of Springfield, Ill., was similarly engaged. There could be no rivalry between us; for the supreme object of both was to make the real history and character of Mr. Lincoln as well known to the public as they were to us. He deplored, as I did, the many publications pretending to be biographies which came teeming from the press, so long as the public inter est about Mr. Lincoln excited the hope of gain. Out of the mass of works which appeared, of one only Dr. Holland's - is it possible to speak with any degree of respect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from President Lincoln, Self-Pourtrayed This volume represents (with a few trifling alterations and some additions) the uncurtailed text of three papers written for "Good Words," under the title of "President Lincoln Judged by his own Words," but which, through the exigencies of periodical publication, had to be compressed into two (August and December, 1865.) The main source from which the original papers were derived, was Mr. Raymond's earlier work, the "History of the Administration of President Lincoln" (New York, 1864), now superseded by his "Life and Public Services of Abraham Lincoln." Prom this latter volume I have borrowed, with but few exceptions, the additions now introduced. An earlier article by myself, also published in "Good Words," has also been appended. I need hardly say that the work in no sense pretends to be a biography of the late President, the greater part of whose life is known as yet only in outline to the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln There is no doubt that for some time prior to the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Arnold had contemplated writing his life. Previous to that event, and while yet a member of Congress, he had commenced to write the History of Abraham Lincoln and the Overthrow of Slavery, which he completed and published in 1867. He brought to the preparation of that work the qualities of an able and conscientious historian, who wrote very largely from personal knowledge and personal observation. It is a book of real interest and exceptional historic value. Important and valuable facts are to be obtained therein which are not to be found elsewhere. This work was never entirely satisfactory to Mr. Arnold, so far as it related to Mr. Lincoln, and hence some two years since he determined to write in a stricter sense the life of Mr. Lincoln, in the light of additional material he had gathered, and disconnected with the history of the overthrow of slavery, except in so far as the subject was connected generally with the administration of Mr. Lincoln.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Character of Abraham Lincoln: President of the United States His public debates show him to be a man of superior powers. Perceiving at once the full force of his opponent's argument, he is ready to meet it in an open and manly manner, and to refute it by cool logic, rather than evade it by subtle sophistry. He seems to be peculiarly fond of a species of argumentum ad hominem - not by directly pressing his opponent with his own premises, and so putting him upon his defense, but by adopting his principles, and giving them that easy and familiar turn which gains the assent of his adversary and leads him to adopt, almost unconsciously, conclu sions at variance with his original deductions. By that familiar conversational reasoning, he often confutes his opponent, and leads him captive, even before he is aware that his own argument has been overthrown.

Download or read book From Pioneer Home to the White House written by William M. Thayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 1036 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Pioneer Home to the White House: Life of Abraham Lincoln; Boyhood, Youth, Manhood, Assassination, Death HE author of this volume wrote the first Life of Abraham Lincoln - the pioneer boy, and how HE became president - which, after a very large sale, passed out of print in consequence of the destruction of the plates by fire. A Campaign Life of only thirty-two pages, relating chiefly to his public career, was issued at the West, after his nomination for the Presidency in 1860; but The Pioneer Boy was the first complete biography of the man. Dr. Holland Said of it, several years later, in his Life of Lincoln, A singularly faithful statement of the early experience of Abraham Lincoln. The materials for the Cam paign Life spoken of were furnished by Mr. Lincoln, and he very kindly directed that pamphlet, with a quantity of unused matter, to be passed into our hands, together with the names and addresses of several of his early associates, reared with him in the wilderness, and of intimate friends in later life, from whom the most valuable information, never before given to the public, was received. From these sources of knowledge The Pioneer Boy was prepared. In the preparation of this new, larger and more elab orate Life of Lincoln, we have had, in addition to the above sources of information, others of even greater value, at least so far as his character and public services relate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Lincoln Standing like a tower, Our children shall behold his fame, The kindly-earnest, brave, foreseeing man, Sagacious, patient, dreading praise not blame, New birth of our new soil, the first American. Born on the twelfth day of February, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was a descendant of those hardy pioneers, who with no capital but strength and courage, a keen axe and an unerring ri e, carved new states from the solid Wilder ness, and built a great nation. In 1780, the grandfather of Abraham Lincoln, after whom President Lincoln was named, moved from Virginia to the fertile valleys of Kentucky, to settle near his friend and relative, Daniel Boone. Choosing a pleasant location, he built a log cabin and for six years worked diligently at clearing his new farm, always with his ri e near at hand, for the Kentucky forests were full of Indians, who, hidden behind trees or in thickets, watched for an opportunity to kill the white man and his helpless family, or to burn and destroy their dwellings.
